1. It shows their favored group, Muslims, being mowed down indiscriminately. This makes the "authorities" look bad, because they weren't able to protect their friends.
2. It shows that ONE armed and trained citizen probably would have been able to stop the attack. Since gun-grabbing is high on their agenda, they can't have this obvious demonstration that self-defense is an innate, God-given right, as it should be.
Your point is well taken....one single guy in the first mosque with a pistol could have limited this to just five or six victims.
Yeah, in fact, in the video ... it shows that one UNARMED MAN almost got the shooter and disarmed him. From what I saw, he had a hold of the gun and almost got it away from the shooter. Maybe if he had been just one second faster, he would have done it.
So ... yes ... an ARMED MAN or woman, would have definitely been able to take him down!
I watched the video...it was a little less than 17 minutes long. The first few minutes the killer was in his car driving to the mosque. The last couple minutes of the video was spent driving away from the mosque. The majority of the time was spent shooting people. The part that surprises me...I only heard a siren once...towards the very end of the video. Not even sure that was for the mosque shootings, maybe just a random siren.
My question...where the F were the police?
